We chose 'Portfolio' because we think the analogy carries well -- Fuzzwich allows you to create a portfolio of animations. We also just like the sound of 'Portfolio' better than 'Account' :). You can do captions, and the comic world is one we are very much excited about trying to get into. Glad you like the styles. We will try to put a few more unique animations up in the near future.

Are your users used to the terminology? "... comic world is one we are very much excited about trying to get into ..." If you do go take the time to read "Scott McCleod"s "Re-inventing Comics" .

One question: will Fuzzwich Animator still have the same try-before-you-register feature as the original Fuzzwich?

Yes. You will be able to play around with the Animator before you register (except in the private beta). However, unlike Minivid, you will not be able to save or publish until you have registered.

yessir. the timing is solid and friendly. as extras perks, you can record in slow motion, fast forward, or even backwards (backwards recording + parallax leads to very cool aesthetics). once you've got stuff recorded, you can shift it around on the timeline or stretch and condense it like in video editing apps.
